In 2012, approximately one month prior to the Sandy Hook massacre, Dr. Jane Sofair made an impactful career change. She closed her solo psychiatric practice in New Jersey and relocated to western Connecticut to join a group practice. Reeling from the aftereffects of incessant administrative demands that she believed were essential to maintain her practice and stunned by the unspeakable tragedy of Sandy Hook, Dr. Sofair stayed diligently focused on providing care in the new practice setting-then unexpectedly encountered an opportunity to enter the world of beauty and cosmetics.

In this memoir framed by hopefulness, Dr. Sofair describes the rewards and challenges of becoming a beauty consultant through her perspective as a psychiatrist and explains how she grew both personally and professionally.
